The ‘Track and Ocean’ cocktail party will represent further networking opportunities for delegates to share business opportunities that co-exist between these high profile sports.

The Forum offers unrivalled networking opportunities. This is the only event where you can meet, both formally and informally, with top-flight motorsport executives from every area of the business under minimal time pressure. F1 team principles, commercial rights holders, sponsors, circuits, broadcasters and the global racing series and their representatives.
The Forum offers guaranteed returns. There is no doubt that sponsors and exhibitors reap valuable rewards form this unique event: 90 per cent of sponsors and exhibitors return to the Forum, year on year, with some now in their fifth consecutive year.
